WnKssRARRE, May 1.-The little
town OF Sugar Notch, eight miles from
here, was to-day the scene of fierce and
destructive fire. Close by the town
stands the Mammoth Breaker, where the
coal hoisted from No. 10 mine of the LIE
high and Wilkesbarre Coal Company IL
prepared for market. 1t Is vast struc-
ture, $50 feet long, 100 feet wide and at
Its highest point oU feet high. Near II
stood a large boiler house, engine rooms,
ian house, oil house, etc., while ON the
hillside, 300 yards in the rear, is the
mouth OF the mine, steep slope de
|scending 700 feet into the earth.
About O'Clock this morning fire was
discovered In the lower end of the breaker
near the railroad track. A high wind
was blowing and In half an hour the
vast structure was one mass of fire, which
spread with great rapidity and destroyed
every one OF the surrounding buildings,
with all their valuable engines, machinery,
boilers, etc. While the head house was
burning a carriage standing ut the head
OF the slope broke loose and rushed all
blazing down the steep slope. 1t set fire
to the props and timbers in the mine and
soon all the underground workings were
ON fire and up through the mouth Of the
slope rnshed vast volumes of dense
smoke and flame. By II O'Clock nothing
was left OF the buildings but heaps Of
blazfny runs.
The loss to tine company is enormous.
On the surface alone the loss is over
100000, with only $4,000 insurance,
while the damage to the mine cannot be
calculated. The only way to put out the
fire Is to fill the mine with water, which
will be done as quickly as possible. but
1t is feared that the colliery is utterly
ruined. The breaker was built in 1870
and had capacity of 200 tons per day.
1t was In this colliery that on April %,
1879, a cave.in occurred by which five
men were imprisoned alive and subsisted
for six days on the carcass of a mule.
During these six days five hundred men,
in shifts of three hours each, were digging
for life itself, and finally penetrated from
the surface to tie gallery In which the
men were imprisoned and found them
alive and well. The anthracite coal re.
gions never witnessed so exciting an cpl
sode rs this, and 1t is still recalled as one
of the most wonderful events of coal
mining.

30 years old, has been acting queerly foI
month and medical examination has
shown him a fit subject for an insane
asylum. He was living with his wife
and two children in log shanty ON hir
fathers farm, Sunday morning he did
not appear and his brother went over and
horrible sight met his view. The wife
lay dead in bed, her skull being broken
In with an axe. The child of two years
was on the bed, sbathed in Its brothers
blood, nninjured, while another, little
older, was In crib, both screaming in
terror. Snyder was tracked to swamp
back of his house. From here he was
easily trailed by blood for several miles
About ten O'Clock he walked into the
house OF George Forsher. He had with d
razor cut three large gashes In his throat,
from which he will probable die. His
wife was younger than he and handsome,
and there had been trouble between
them. She was afraid of him and had

HE TIRED OF HIS WIFE.
Mr. Batty, OF England, Has y Varied
Matrimonial Career.


BALTIMORE May 1.-Two good look
ing young women, one from Philadsi
| phia, the other of Baltimore, appeared
In the police court this morning and
| each declared Richard 8. Batty 10 bt
her husband. Batty was arrested on
the charge Of bigamy last Saturday, his
second father in law, Alfred E George
Of this city, having discovered that
Batty had q wife living in Philadel-
phia. Mrs. Amelia Louise Batty, who
before her marriage TO the prisOner WAS
Miss Amelia LOUISE Landridge, and re-.
sides at No. 1903 Howard street, Phila
delDhis, testified that she WAS married
to Batty on December 2, 1873. In Eng.
land.
They lived together until about four
years ago. when Batty deserted her and
came to the United States. Six weeks
later she received letter from him at
Philadelphia expressing regret ut his
conduct and saying that rs soon ~ he
could save enough money he would send
for her. She was working, and about
four months later, having in the mean.
time saved money enough to pay her
fare, also came to this country. They
then lived together in Philadelphia
until April 4, 1886, wheL Batty tod her
nc WAS tireu OF neE ana lntonQ6Q 10
abandon her, which he did.
Previous to that, in q quarrel, Batty
destroyed her certificate OF marriage.
Several months ago she learned that
Batty had married q lady here, aod she
then sent to England for q duplicate of
her certificate, which was dated March
10, 1867, and duly attested before com
petent official of the Established church
Of England. The certificate was read
and admitted in evidence. 1t appears
that when Batty was married to wife
No. / he gave his name as Richard
Sidney Batty. He now claims that his |
name is Richard Stephen Batty.
Mrs. Alice George Batty, wife No. 2,
exhibited her certificate OF marriage, |
and Rev. Jessie E. Taylor testified that
he performed the ceremony August 8,
1885. When Batty came here from
philadelphia he boarded with Mr.. |
George, and won the confidence of the |
parents and the love of their daughter.
Soon after the wedding he went South, |
and but recently returned. When ar
rested he tried to destroy papers prov.
Ing bis Identity. He was committed 10 |
jail for trial.
